So it started with the wheels jacked up off the ground but no amount of throttling & breaking opened either pulley up. It's hard to imagine how the smaller one can even open up. The larger pulley at least has a large viewable spring on the outside. How does the smaller one work? More...

If the drive pulley is stuck closed and starting it with the wheels off the ground doesn't open it, what do you suggest I do to un-stick it?

Here's a picture of the belt I purchased. It says it's supposed to fit my 1983 FL250. It was a bit of a challenge getting it on though.
